So far, I've seen very little discussion about one of the most radical novelties of Street Magic, namely the possibility for all vanilla Awakened characters (not just toxics or Twisted ones, even if you can have the latter, too, as PC option, now) to enter Spirit Pacts. So let's talk about it. Would you allow/buy the quality at character creation ? What kind of pact would you use, from the sample listed ? Would you allow a character to have multiple pacts with the same spirit (a combination that I see as especially enticing would be Formula Pact and Life Pact, maybe coupled with Dream Pact), and in that case would the player have to buy the Quality multiple times ? I have difficulty understanding the sense of tying the price of the Spirit Pact to the spirit's Edge. The latter plays a role in the Drain Pact's effectiveness, but in no other pact. Maybe because a spirit with low Edge is easier to banish ? By the way, what would happen to the pact while the spirit is temporarily banished or disrupted ? Is it suspended ?
